PENWnLn, a :citizen fof fthe United States, residing .at`MountainHome, finl the county 4of Elmore .5"' and State-ofIdaho'jhaveinvented a new and useful Scraper and Grrader, of which thefollowingis'aspecificajtion. 1 This yinvention"hw :relation to Scrapersand graders and itl-consistsin the novel construc- :zion andAazlf'rangement of its-parts as hereinafter Ashoxvn and described.

'The implementfconsists .primarily of, av

wheel'v mounted platform to which .is pivotd for tiltin theV scoop.- Theplatformisedito a tongue and means is .In the accompanying drawing,Figure 1,-"yis a top plan linesindicating one position of the scoop'andthe dotted lines indicating another "w'fj'position thereof, fand Fig. 3is aside eleva-- :heavy linesv indicat' scoop and the dotildtion 'ofthegrader with parts removedthe 'lines indicating another position thereof.

The seat post 7 is mounted upon the rear portionof the tongue l5 and supports the fseat '8. The frame 1 -is -providedatits ends vided4 upon its bottom with the resilient face around .and

.the scoop 10 is t' te upon its ivotal connec* -tions with the brackets'l9 lso t 4'at its forvi'fard4 edge-will be depressed-When v the vsaidscoop maybe used as a scraper forthey purpose of 'accumulating looseearth thereon. When the-lever 14 is in its forward position and thevfree end of the lever 17 is swun u the for# 'ward edgev of the platform1 willee ressed with relation tothe tongue .5 and t e-.reafr elevated.-By this movement the 'material u on the 'scoop will be 4depositedalongr the 'sul ace of the ground as the implement travels over the same.1When the freeend of -thel lever 17` is swung up as above described .andthe lever 14 is swung to the rear the will assume substantially avertical position when the contents ofthe said scoop will beprecipitatedin a pile upon the surface of the ground. The platform 1 issubstantially edgle of the said platform will becorrespondmgy scoop 1'0will be still furtherturned upon its pivotal connections'with thebrackets 9 and there is sufficient spacel at the rear edge of theplatform for the said: scoop to'tilt or turn without interference Y lThe lever v19 is lfixed to the intermediate portion of the axle 2 andwhen the saine is swung the said axle is turned sothat the frame 1 andthe parts mounted thereon are raised or lowered with relation to thesurface of the ground. Thus it is possible to elevate th'e scoop 10suflic'iently above the surface of the ground to avoid possibleobstructions. The board 2O depends from the platform 1 and' is adaptedto closevthe forward end of the scoop l0 -when the same is swung up so10 ,that thel dirt carried by. the scoop cannotfall or 'oltout of thesame. l

aving thus describedmy inventiornwhat I claim as new and desire tosecure by Letters Patent is l. An implement as described comprising" awheel mounted platform, a tongue pivotally connected thereto means forswinging the platform withrelation to the tongue, a

scoop pivotally connected to the platform and means for swinging thescoop with rela- .tion to the platform.

furisuuliging` the scoop with relation',` to the platform.

3. -An implement as described comprising d wheel mounted platform atongue pivotally :connected thereto upright-s attached to the platformand crossing the tongue, alever fulcrumed between the uprights,links'pivoted to said leverand to the tongue, a scoop pivot!- allymounted upon the platform and means for swinging thescoop with relationto'the platform.

4. An implement ats-'described comprising a wheel mounted lplatfr'oxmprovided at 'its rear ed e with a vertically disp0sed.1ug, a tongueaving at its end portion lside `plates the extremities of which areupwardly curved and pivotally attached to said lug, avl lever mechanismfor swinging the platform with relation to the tongue, a scoop pivotallymounted u on the platform and a lever,

mechanism or Aswinging the scoop with relation to` the platform.

In testimony that I claim the foregoing as myown, I have heretoaflixedmy signature in .the presence of two witnesses. u
